Doechii - Alligator Bites Never Heal MIXTAPE REVIEW | DEHH

[@Mark.mp3]

Doechii is a star. She's got it all. She sings, raps, and performs amazingly. Like she said, she's everything!

[@ChawletMelk]

SiR, ScHoolboy, and Doechii have all dropped great projects this year. TDE is in a great place, talent and quality wise. It's just a matter of consistency of releases. We need Jay Rock next.

[@Matcha_Mon]

Feefo... I get it, I have been running this mixtape since it dropped and just ordered my Vinyl. She has a chokehold on us, I hate that lots of people rate it lower cause "she can do better". ITS ALREADY AMAZING! She is just gonna get better, but that doesnt mean that this isnt beautiful already

[@xclosedchainx]

Facts, some of the songs on this album are the best I’ve heard in 5-6 years

[@CameronCovington88]

You can def hear influence from Busta, Missy, Kim, Kendrick and even Tyler... the list could go on, but she fully made it her own. The Swamp Princess has a fan in me.

[@kmo3850]

Good review fellas! Feefo you were on point. We need to support this Sista. I would hate for her to fall through the cracks. She gets an A across the board!

[@loveshot98]

Y'all are not aware that she finished this mixtape in a month. She said in her Rolling Stones interview that it was in July that she decided one day after she woke up that she wanted to drop a mixtape on August 30. She's a very spiritual person and she's super into numerology and stuff like that, so she tunes into her dreams a lot. She said she just went up to the CEO and told him what she wanted to do, and that was it. Also, Doechii has this habit of doing a "One Song A Day". She will let the clock run for an hour and just start writing, and whatever came out of it she would do her best to make it into a song. So a lot of these are the result of her just freestyling and pouring her feelings down on paper. For a project like this to be so amazing when it was concluded in A MONTH is wild. People need to give her the RESPECT that she is owed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@norwoodsstokes3883]

Idk if dis is true.....but if so.....🤯

[@1984mschanel]

@norwoodsstokes3883 it's true. She said it on her listening party stream. She did the mixtape in 3 weeks. Her swamp session songs she made in 1 hour each. She's been doing this for years.

[@willthomas2310]

That's all fine and dandy, doesn't mean her music isn't free of any type of fair criticism.

[@1984mschanel]

@@willthomas2310 who said that?

[@Youmakesickkkkkk]

@@willthomas2310who tf said that… all the comment was applying was that it was finished in a quick manner therefore she deserves respect for that because it’s not a easy thing to do..

[@KindaSarcasticProduc]

Y’all was doing a lot with Feefo grades but I stand by it. In 5-10 years y’all will agree with Weefo. He’s seeing the potential and is just excited as a new fan.

[@yamoms0919]

completely w you here. This album has taken over my rotation. Caught me by complete surprise and in the first week it's been a different song on the mind every single day. It's actually crazy. The only female artist seeing her rn is doja, and there's just something more hiphop/raw ab doechii for me. But imo, she's the first in the long time that we have to stop comparing male/female rappers while being able to deliver the pop hits. On top of all the rap/hip hop moments, she delivers 100% sza-coded moments. Who's doing it like that rn??

[@LA-ue2ph]

laughing at someone for a different opinion is wild pre-school behaviour

[@othelliusmaximus]

​@@yamoms0919 I don't think they're laughing at Feefo because they think his opinion is bad but because this is like when he's done this with IDK. He'll gas them up and make it sound like they were perfect only to never talk about them again. He said IDK dropped the best album ever and when it came down to best album of the year he ain't even bring it up. Here he said a+ on everything but b+ for replayability 😂😂. Its like if this artist is perfect everywhere why wouldn't you come back to it. His grading scale is a little weird is all.

[@Tullekunstner]

@@yamoms0919 Little Simz, and Doechii is still firmly behind her. But my feelings on the album mirrors yours fairly well. 3-4 songs that I'm just not into, but the rest of the tape is really fucking good.

[@ElijahMCMalik]

nah im with feefo on this one😭

[@1984mschanel]

I agree with Feeefo. Doechii's mixtape (not album) feels like what Nicki Minaj could've matured into if she could actually sing. If you have to compare her to anyone, I'd say she's more of a Missy Elliot. Top compared the feel of her album to section 80, not the contents. I feel like the other guys heard that (incorrectly) and ran with it. Doechii deserves better. 🐊

[@simbalesliechoto8663]

TDE does what many labels don't do .....Artist Development. Letting artist cook before releasing.

[@jroameverywhere]

TDE just knows what they're doing. Doechii is one of them ones. Awesome project.

[@keithharrell2796]

We stand with Feefo!

[@kplovely9787]

It's a mixtape, not an album. So the cohesiveness wasn't intended.

[@TakverReturns]

Good review. I was pleasantly surprised that Ken liked "Denial is a River". 😅 The song gave me Slick Rick vibes in a contemporary way. She is a real talent.

[@shaanraval5374]

I really wish she saved this title and cover for an album because both of them really give album energy

Very dope intro for a lot of people. People need to chill with the comparison and just enjoy the music. I’m glad people are hyped tho . Doechii has immense potential!

[@directedbysunny]

I think people ran with it but if they more so mean what Top meant when he made that tweet which was he got the same feeling of “this artist is special and has something different about them” I can agree. Will she reach the same level as a Kendrick who knows but the talent as an artist is definitely there for here to be prominent for this generation

[@MartyMcFly__25]

@@directedbysunny oh no I totally get it from the crew and what Top actually meant. it just convo for the video. I’m More so talking about the internet and how that heavy comp can cause some massive backlash if we not careful. Folks will root for her downfall because of the Kdot comp and the “this is good women rap” for some

[@directedbysunny]

@@MartyMcFly__25 oh naw I agree I’ve already seen what you’re talking about all week on socials 🫠 People misunderstood what Top meant and they tryna use her to bash other women, it’s sad really

[@cartiercartier2171]

​@@MartyMcFly__25 she paid homage to that album and used a lot of sounds from that section 80 album. I'll drop a list of the songs she borrowed from. I agree with you tho I like her standing on her own because there's no comparison out here woman wise for sure. Potential is unlimited with her at the moment.

[@cartiercartier2171]

​@@directedbysunnytop knew what he was doing by that tweet because she paid homage to that album and took more than a handful of things from dots section 80 album. This mixtape she put out paid homage to that and I gotta list all the stuff she used and post it on this thread. Shes light-years ahead of anyone right now female wise and plenty of these males too!

[@MosaicButterfly]

Doechii been supremely dope, since before getting signed, and I'm so glad more ppl are starting to recognize her superstar potential. Edit: Anybody who's new to her, please please please check out her back catalog. She has 4 other short projects that are all quality works 💯

[@TGreen0381]

I came here to say the same thing. TDE didn't need to develop her, she was it way before them. From Coven Music Sessions, Bra-Less, She/Her Black Bitch. I've loved all her projects.

[@WillieEarlSon]

If I’m willing to listen to it again or want to hear more afterwards i have to at the very least say it’s very good. I’ve been going through it a few times and i really enjoy it

[@MohauNtaopane]

Kudos to Feefs for sticking to his guns. His perspective is representative of some if not most of the feedback out there on this, even if they were jumping out the window with how amazing this project is. It still feels thin to me, as good as it is. It shows what she is capable of, but not quite there yet.

[@PharaohDom]

This is an album of the year contender. I started deep diving her discog last spring, but this is the first one that truly blew me away. She is a bonifide star, and TDE needs to put the machine in hyper drive behind her.

[@temujinkhan4314]

Been waiting for this

[@bjenksful]

To Lupe's point while "hatin" on Kendrick, TDE seems to foster an environment of creative freedom. At least for the most part, it seems that they just let their artists cook. I haven't deeply listened to Doechii yet, but I remember hearing some of the music she had before TDE and it seemed on par with what's she's putting out now. Similar with Isaiah Rashad, I was listening to him before he signed with TDE. His music improved but did not change.

[@massadonking]

Ken was the first to highlight that Douche pays homage to various aspects of hip hop, from beatboxing to certain historical styles. One of the album's greatest strengths is her demonstration of being a true child of hip hop culture while showcasing her unique contribution. This is one of the best albums of the year, with heavy replay potential and perfect for bumping in the whip!

[@kingcheflos602]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion music is subjective and if that’s how the man truly feels about her as an artist I don’t see anything wrong or humorous about it but most times we are judged by our peers who are in disagreement with our opinion.

First couple of tracks were incredible but it does fall off halfway. Definitely a good surprise considering her current singles

I just listened to this first time run through and opened up KZbin to this review. Great timing - good album 1st album. My score would be fairly low though

[@ChawletMelk]

I agree with the Kendrick comp. I think Alligator Bites is just as good of a "debut" as Section .80 I think the production is better. The rapping is on par. Kendrick edges her on story telling. But they are in a similar ballpark imo
